Hyundai Kona: Driving your vehicle / Four wheel drive (4WD)
.png)
The Four Wheel Drive (4WD) System delivers engine power to all front and rear
wheels for maximum traction. 4WD is useful when extra traction is required on roads
such slippery, muddy, wet, or snow-covered roads.
Occasional off-road use such as established unpaved roads and trails are OK.
It is always important that the driver carefully reduces the speed to a level that
does not exceed the safe operating speed for those conditions.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
- Do not drive in conditions that exceed the vehicles intended design
such as challenging off-road conditions.
- Avoid high speeds when cornering or turning.
- Do not make quick steering wheel movements, such as sharp lane changes
or fast, sharp turns.
- The risk of a rollover is greatly increased if you lose control of
your vehicle at highway speeds.
- Loss of control often occurs if two or more wheels drop off the roadway
and the driver over steers to reenter the roadway.
- In the event your vehicle leaves the roadway, do not steer sharply.
Instead, slow down before pulling back into the travel lanes.
NOTICE
- Do not drive in water if the level is higher than the bottom of the
vehicle.
- Check your brake condition once you are out of mud or water. Depress
the brake pedal several times as you move slowly until you feel normal braking
return.
- Shorten your scheduled maintenance interval if you drive in offroad
conditions such as sand, mud or water (see "Maintenance Under Severe Usage Conditions"
in chapter 7).
- Always wash your vehicle thoroughly after off road use, especially
the bottom of the vehicle.
- Be sure to equip the vehicle with four tires of the same size and type.
- Make sure that a full time 4WD vehicle is towed by a flat bed tow truck.
WARNING
Whenever leaving the vehicle or parking, always come to a complete stop and
continue to depress the brake pedal. Move the shift lever into the P (Park) position,
